Also, something of note, your void storage appears empty upon first opening it after a paid character transfer, simply re-logging should resolve this. This was noted in 4.3.0 Known Issues List sticky on the World of Warcraft Bug Report Forum.

was a bit disappointed that I couldn't store the Plain Letter received for achieving Loremaster - just nice keepsake.

Comment by paigeness

A bit of a mistake to be honest. 100g to open, then you need to pay for each transfer? (Withdrawal/Deposit) I'd say just keep using the bank, unless you have really important soulbound items you want to keep. Definitely not useful for levels < 70.

Comment by SargonStarblade

Honestly what is the purpose of this storage?

1. You can only store soulbound items.2. You cannot store anything that stacks.3. You cannot store anything with charges.4. You cannot store any unique items.

So 90% of the stuff cluttering up my inventory, bank, and guild bank (Small guild just me and some friends but primarily me.) does not even qualify. It seems a waste of money.

Opinions?

Although the idea of void storage sounds great the actual use of it in game seems to come off as pretty useless and more or less a gold sink for those who have nothing better to spend it on.Perhaps one day Blizz will wake up and make void storage accessible by all toons on the account creating a mass storage for items like BoA heirlooms that you could easily locate and keep track of. Not to mention if it were to be accessible by all toons on an account they could possibly eliminate much groaning coming from those who want to level on new realms with BoA gear.Just a thought (^.~)

Wow, the void sure is picky about what you put into it.

The main purpose of void storage is to store your Transmog Sets after you have collected them and they have been transmogrified to your current gear. This is so they don't take up space in your bags. Because when you transmogrify your current gear, you retain the 'transmog set' in your bags.

Depending on your class, spec, & choice of weapons you have between 9 and 12 transmoggable item slots for your toon. And if you have 2 specs that don't share the same gear. (i.e. PvE & PvP specs, Tank & DPS specs) you might want to transmogrify the gear in your secondary spec as well. Should you choose to do this, you could have potentially 24+ items sitting in your bags taking up space.

So rather than storing that set in your bank - because a lot of the Transmog Sets are soulbound; you cannot send them to a bank alt - there is void storage.

Void Storage is a place to park your Transmog Sets after you have transmogrified you gear. (Notice that the Void Storage NPC is conveniently located right next to the Transmogrifier NPC.) If you delete or sell your Transmog Set you will have to go purchase/grind/dungeon that same piece of gear should you happen to upgrade your current gear and want to transmog the new piece of gear to match your set. If you put it in void storage you just pay the transaction fees to update your gear.

Void Storage and Transmogrification is expensive! No doubt about it. Its not for the lvl 50ish player who is on his/her first toon. You will have to do a cost/benefit analysis on whether or not void storage is worth the slots that it takes up in your bank. The casual mogger might only do his weapons - probably not worth using storage as its only taking up 1-2 spaces in the bank. To hardcore set collecters that kept all their raid gear since T1. Their bank is prolly bursting at the seams; so this can be a big help if they are willing to spend the coin.

Void storage has following rules to keep void storage primarily for transmogrification:

Strips gems and enchants (these are not needed in the transmog process)

no stackable items (weapons and armors for transmog don't stack)

no Items with charges (weapons and armors for transmog don't have those)

no unique items (unique-equipped is ok. Void storage is not meant to be a stockpile for quest items)

the initial cost to use void storage is 100g (that is per character; its not account-wide)

Hope that helps clear up the confusion on the usefulness of the void storage.

y can i just use my bank?Buying more bank tabs is cheaper anyway?

Comment by ATX27

Void Storage is useless. Why would anyone actually pay for this crap. I would pay if void storage allowed all my characters access to the same pool of items (like the new mount and pet feature). Otherwise, there is no reason worth investing in it.

Comment by oaninor

some people says that void storage is useless?. well, I activate it in my alt bank, guildmaster of his own guild and with 6 six tabs.

now if you ask what I have to save with a lvl 20 toon with that massive storage capacity?, well, I tell you: HEIRLOOMSSSS!

I have 10 toons so I have almost all existing heirlooms and lets be honest, who wants to destroy a heirloom even if you think that you don't gonna need it anymore?

so, they can't be saved on a guild banks so, void storage is the answer to any altoholic player like me! :D

the 2nd tab of Void Storage introduced with WoD is currently free (or included in the intial unlock price).
